So, this thread has gone from "motorcycle icebreakers" to "Asian girls" to "brown leather jackets".
Hum... a traditional leather mo'cycle jacket, but brown, (and brown, without the double breasted, without extra chains).
Like I used for about 25 years. About only comment I ever got about it was "Ehheee, brown jacket like Fonzie, Ehhheee, The Fonz."
So, Rob, yah, must be something about you.

Half hour ago, at the Home Depot. I left my helmet at the bike, and I'm pushing around a cart big enough for...well, big. All I've got in it is a packet of five tiny "pony hair artist" brushes (to touch up the engine).
A short Asian woman in her thirties is helping me find a replacement for a broken bathroom cabinet hinge. She's not paying me the kind of attention I like to receive from Asian women, so when she tells me the price, I say, "Price doesn't matter."
Still nothing. So when she asks me if there will be anything else, I say, "No, that's about all I can fit on the motorcycle."
She lights up and says, "Oh, motorcycle!"
With a big smile she eyes me up and down and repeats, "Oh, motorcycle!"
She might have been thinking, "So that's why you're dressed like Fonzie," but in any case she seemed very interested and even a bit excited.
At my age, that's what I consider a 'happy ending.'1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Idea here to throw it out to you guys. Post a pic of your progression of motorcycle jackets, leather, textile, and/or jackets you have used for riding over the years.Comment

Though I own a few leathers and a few heavy nylon made for motor jackets, I still wear snowboard jackets at times while riding.
The difference between back in the day and now being that I wear a armored mesh under them now.
Still rock the Burton and hot finger gloves in the winter also.
Bonfire pants.
Been thinking on a pair of these.

May be a bit flashy for me but I am tired of all the black I own, more so when stopped.Comment

LMAO, dang I forgot about this, I was in my closet looking over my jackets and couldn't remember the reason
I have a project for the weekend now. I still have my first jacket yet. So as I had posted earlier, "Post a pic of your progression of motorcycle jackets, leather, textile, and/or jackets you have used for riding over the years." So, do we need to start a new thread on this? Probably huh. Lol, this could get out of hand, just thought of another one, foot wear over the years lol. Oh and gloves! here we go!

My one and only BLJ is 3 decades old, has been (equivalent of) around the world ten times, and looks it. You know what? I'll be buried in that thing, it's seen better and worse times than I can recall. I only wish I'd bought one earlier, so it could have more history.
I'm feeling guilty that it's so tatty - needs a refurb for another couple of decades, as it's now so beat-up it's actually losing protective ability.Dave

My 30+ year old leather jackets are holding up fine. An occasional zipper replacement and they're good for another decade or two.
My Frye boots though, as good as their condition may be, I doubt will ever see the light of day (or footpegs) again.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
